PREGNANT WOMAN LOSES EYE AFTER POLICE FIRE BEAN BAG DURING FERGUSON
Facebook As the nation continues to reel after the troubling Darren Wilson verdict, heartbreaking stories like this one seem to make a terrible situation even worse. A pregnant St. Louis woman lost use of her left eye and is partially blind in her right after officers fired a non-lethal bean bag at her vehicle. Dornella Conners tells KMOV that she was parked at a BP gas station with her boyfriend, De’Angeles Lee, not far from a Ferguson-related protest when she was struck. “I didn’t have any weapons. I wasn’t looting or anything,” Conners told reporters. “I was just out with my boyfriend and we were just riding around and you know, respecting Mike Brown.”
